Tue Herald knows what the evils of the railway system are just as it knows the character and extent of social evils which it is often at pains to point out and deplore,--Omaha Herald. Yes, and tho pains which the Her- ald takes is pointing out the evils of the railway system remind aus very much of the pains which cer- tain pious frauds in this city take in pointing out the evils of prostitution to the social evils to whom they rent houses, Sm—— Tue Herald takes exceptions to Senator Van Wyck’s views on curren- oy and finance. The senator is put down as ‘‘a political demagogue who appeals to the prejudices and passions of the people for a purpose instead of trying to improve their uydcnlnnding and enlighten their judgment.” Now, what purpose has the senator to sub- serve and upon what point [has he sought to mislead the people? Gon, Van Wyck entered upon his position POSTAL PROJECTS, Tostmaster General James, who is tho advantages of cstablishing postal savings banks and a postal telegraph system in connection with the post- office. Tt is understood that the post- master-general has had prepared the outline of a system modeled on that of Great Britain, which contains many improyements upon its model. The fact will be cited that in almost every country in Europe the telegraph sys- tem is operatod by the government, usually with success in every way. It is not understood 1n the postofiice department why such a system should not succeed in the United States. It is nsserted that it would not be 8o easy to establish as the sav- ings bank systom, but once establishe it would be, it is bolioved, as success- ful as that of England, which, ten years after its establishment, yields a net revenue of a million a year. The proposition to build new government lines to compete with the pri- vate lines now in existence is not regarded favorably. The plan advanced in congress Inst session will probably be that recommended if any scheme is formulated. It embraced the appraisal of the property of ex- isting telegraph companies and its purchase at cost price. The act of OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. a man of practical idens, proposes to | a protective tariff by which already urge upon congress at its next session | three Liberal seats Lave been lost in | parliament, is attracting much atten- can scarcely be repressed. harvests have also much to do with the growing feeling of discontent. Statistics of the harvest in England have just beon prepared for a French agricultural publication. based partly on personal observation, but chiefly on the reports of 205 correspondents in various parts of the country. state of the crops is designed by fig- 1866, granting the right of way through public lands, and the privil- ego to telegraph companies author- ized the course proposed in the case of any company accepting its pro- visions, All the leading telegraph compa- nies have accepted its terms, and are held to bo subject to its provisions. Twenty millions, which is about the .price paid by Great Britain under similar circumstances, ten years ago, for the private telegraph lines of the United Kingdom would, it is claimed, be reported to be the value of the private telegraph lines of the United States by the commission of appraise- ment, This is a vory practical project but there are altogether too many con- gressmen holding Western Union franks, telegraph and national bank stock to allow such radical changes to be made. Jay Gould, Vanderbilt and other magnates who now control the American telegraph system are not likely to let this control pass out of their hands withont a strugglo. ON TO DENVER. The organization and incorporation of the Burlington & Missouri River railway in Coloradc dispels all duubts ag to ths intention ot the Burlington management to push forward with all possible dispatch into the territory for which they have so long been aiming. Contracts and agreements made with difficulty and violated with impunity by both parties have,until recently, restricted the western extonsion of the line to the limits of this state. The invasion of the B. & M. territory by the Missouri Pacific has resulted in an open breach bétween the two mo- nopolies, and as & consequence Ne- braska will soon be traversed by an- other overland route which at no dis- tant day will have its western termi- nus at San Francisco, Reports from the Republican valley stato that work on the one hundred mile extension of the Republican Val- ley road is being pushed forward with all dispatch by the contractors, and that the remaining two hundred miles of road will be contracted for as speedily a8 possi- ble. The probabilities are that before the conclusion of next year trains will bo running into Denver over the new route, 1f the conflict- ing rumors from the west are to be believed, a connection with the Utah & Nevada extension of the Denver & Rio Grande road will give the new combination an outlet to the Pacific, which must prove of immense com- morcial advantage to tho monopoly- ridden coost.

The meeting of the emperor of Germany with the Russian czar, which took place at Dantzig last week, will, while giving occasion for many profound guesses, probably turn out to have been of real importance The present czar of Russia has long been counted among the most decided and ncom- promising representatives of the ‘‘old Russian” sentiment, which is un- friendly to all foreign and especially to German influence. It was there- fore supposed that his acces- sion to the throne would mark the be- ginning of an anti-German tendency in the foreign policy of Russia, which might become dangerous to the peace- ful relations of the two countries. The irritation of feeling between the Berlin and Petersburg government, which followed upon the conclusion of the treaty of Berlinseemed to ren- SATURDAY s at least thrico as heavyas those sustained by Korez. Committees for the relief of the sufferers have been established in Berlin, Cologne and many of the leading German provin- cial cities. Tunis is in o state of revolt after three months of occupation by the French troops. Thirty thousand men are in the field, but even Algiers is imperiled, and reinforcements arc hurrying to the scene of hostilitics. The French believed they had the country in their grasp within a week after their troops crossed the frontier. They have discoverad that it is one thing to capture an incompetent ruler and bind him to their will, but quite another to subdue his people. Meanwhile, the religious excitement of the Moslems is penetrating the very heart of the “‘dark continent.” A new prophet has arisen in Soudan, preachirg a holy war for the unification of all Mos- lems under the Caliphate—temporal and spiritual,—of the Sultan, en- dangering the peace of Egypt's south- ern provinces, France has managed to create such a disturbance as she could not have forseen, else she would not have been so forward. The second elections in Francs have still further strengthened the moderate republicans, and have re- duced the monarchist pdrties to com- plete insignificance. The republican left and the republican union, the former led by M. Ferry, and the lat- ter by M. Gambetta, will have such a majority, if they can be permanently united, as no party in France has had since the restoration, The only difi- culty in the way of their per- manent alliance is the dis- poeition of the more extreme members of the republican union to act in many questions with M. Cle- menceau and his radical following, rather than with M. Gambetta. M. Clemenceau is evidently a rising man in French politics —a man of that sin- cere and unrelenting loyalty to an idea which fascinates the French and repels the English intellect. No one knows how many votes he may rally at some inconvenient moment. Asit is, he is the only rival M. Gambetta now has in point of intellectual and personal force. Considerable alarm is felt in Ger- many at the accession of the Pan- Slavist or Moscow party to power since the new czar came to the throne. The frontiers of the Teutonic and Slavic races'are badly defined, there being many millions of Slavs under the Teutonic rule of Germany and Austria, and a considerable body of Germans under Russian rule in the Baltic provinces. The new party starts from the principle that all Slavic people are entitled, 1f not fo autonomy, at least to rulers of their own race. It sympathizes with the national aspirations of the Poles in Posen, the Czechs in Bohemia, the Slavonians in Hungaria, and the Croats and the other Slavs in the southern provinces of the dual em- pire. It will throw the moral and der those relations still more preca- rious. The meeting of the two sov- ¢reigns, which appears to have been very cordial, has probably had the effect of strengthening on both sides the inclination to dispose of whatever questions there may be or arise between the two countries in an amicable spirit, and it may therefore be looked upon as a sign of lasting peace in that quarter. It is also probable that the two monarchs and their ministers have exchanged ex- pressions of sympathy about the nihi- lists and the socialists, who trouble them respectively, and pious wishes as to their suppression. But inasmuch as they aro already doing in that di- rection all that can be done, the con- ference is not likely to have new and startling results in that respect, There will undoubtedly be great mystery about the subjects that have Leen dis- cussed hore, and that kind of mystery is usually best maintained when there is very listle to conceal, as may bo the case’ in this instance, The anti-Jewish movement in west- ern and southern Russia has been atrocieus in massacres and incendiar- isms. Down Lo the end of June no fower than sixteen towns have been wholly or partly burned down. Four of these, Vitebsk, Bobruisk, Slonim Mohileff, were places cf considerable importance, each one owning a popu- lation of over twenty thousand souls, The remaining twelve townships— Volkovisk, Novogrudek, Luptz, Setel, Garadish, Noustadt-Schirwindt, Augustovo, Ponivies, Krakanovo, Kyodom, TPodselvi and Radsk— numbered respectively from four to eighteen thousand inhabitants, Since the 1st of July several other cases of arson have occurred, the most destruc- tive of which took place in the cities of Korez and Minsk, During the great Korez fire one thousand and twenty houses and shops were reduced to ashes, among them the grand syna- gogue and eleven smaller places of worship, Thirty-nine persons were burnt to death, five thousand were rendered Lomeless paupers, and nine- tenths of the whole population were left withouta roof to cover their heads, The losses inflicted upon the inhabi- tants of Minsk by the subsequent con- diplomatic influence of Russia on their side when occasion offers, and per- haps it wall go even farther than the use of influence in case of an uprising. Largo increase is noted in the re- turns made of live stock and fresh meat importations from the United States into England, For a single week in August the quantity of live stock was double the quantity for the week preceding it, and in fresh meat there was considerable advance, par- ticularly in beef. The totals were: Cattle, 1,808; sheep, 2,800; quarters of beef, 4,748; carcasses of mutton, 403. No hogs whatever were landed. More pigs, however, were raised in England last year than for some years previous, Tlicre are now in the coun- try 2,048,000 of O.hal.n. or an increase of 47,192 over 1880, and 43,626 over 1879, The Russian army has been greatly increased and the military budgot has risen from 181,000,000 rubles in 1879 and 189,000,000 in 1880, to 206,000,- 000 in 1881, In accordance with this increase it has been found necessary to reduce the expenses by the forma- tion of four grund territorial armies in the place of the ten distriots at each of which has beon maintained heretofore a commander-in-chief. Matters still remain unsettled be- tween Chil and Peru, The terms de- manded by Chili are so humiliating that their acceptance seems impossi- ble. She demands the cession of three of the Peruvian provinces, a pledge that the forts and navy will not be placed in repmr for forty years, the payment of the en- tire expenses of the war and o division of the guano trade, Pern asks for anexation as being less onerous. Such an annexation would increase the population of Chili from 2,000,000 to 5,500,000, it is true, but the annexed 3,000,000 would be for ages a rebellious, discontented people, Peru, instead of becoming a source of revenue, would be a constant drain on the coffers of Chili, A now ccnuuu.hu been taken in India, and the total population is a round 250,000,000 souls, or something moro than five times the population flagration of that city ave estimated of the United States, SA IPTEMBER 17, 1881, Bending Over the Gate.

CONNUBIALITIES, The infanta Eulalie, sister of the king of Spain, and the Archduke Charles Steph- en, of Austria, brother of the queen, are shortly to be married. A blind girl in North Carolina is about to lead a young man to the altar. Blind- ly entering matrimony has got to be no uncommon thing in any of the states. The papers tell of a courtship and mar- riage brought about by a note written on an egg-shell, It is the most eggs-traordi- nary affair.

The Winn-apolis schools cost $150,476 last year, In the San Francisco public echools there are Chinese cl The cost per capita the Cincinnati public schools is £25 year, The total enrollment in the public schools of Milwaukee last year was 17,307 rs, of which 8081 were boys and girls, In proportion. to their numbers, eight times more Jews than Christians attend the upper schools in Prussia, One-eighth of the university students in Austria are Jews, though their proportion to the gen eral population is very much smaller, Miss Margaret Hicke, a graduate of Cornell university, is said to be the first woman in this country to adopt the yro- fession (of an architect, A paper by on tenement-houses published in the Ame erican Architect a year ago showed very considerable promise, The quection of admitting colored chil- dren to all the schools of Springfield, Ohio, is again tearing up the minds of the people of that city, The only just and the only permanent way to settle this ques. tion is to abolish the color line entirely and to allow equal privileges to every child of school age everywhere. The management of Swathmore college, Delaware county, Penn., intend to erect a large building for the use of the scientific departments of instru , Provision will be made for two chemical laboratories, & metallurgical laboratory and a labora- tory for_experiments in natural philoso- phy. It will also have photographic rooms, a large and small lecture room, en- gine and boiler room and shops for wood and metal working. A Free Education League has been formed in Great Britain to procure the abolition of all fees in connection with national education, The league cites the example of the United States in free edu- cation and notcs that France, profiting by the experience of other nations, has this year established free education in all her rimary schools. *‘Notwithstanding these nstructive examples,” the secretary’s cir- cular says, ‘‘the tendency of the education department of her majesty's privy council has been to raise the scale of ‘school fees, and thereby to minimise the benefits of the education act, It is further stated that the conviction is rapidly growihg that unless Gieat Britain is to ?nll behin other mnations in education, a resolute movement should at once be made in the direction of abolishing the charges for ad- mission to public elementary schools; and that with this view the free education league has been formed.” ThE New York Tribune said the other day: *“The largest school house in Amer- ica is just being completed in Sixty-third street, between Second and Third ave- nue-, facing the American Institute. It is built upona plot of ground 125 feet front by 138 feet deep, it has a frontage of 113 feet deep, and o depth of 123 feet,” Whereupon the Boston Zranscript coolly walks up and takes the cake thus: *The largest school house in America is com- pleted. Ttis built upon a plot of ground 220 feet by 340 feet, and is known as the English High and Latin school house,— Cincinnati Commercial, You have mussed your reckoning. The largest public school house in America is the Omaha High School. It is built upon a plot of ground 668 feet front by 628 feet deep. S Shoes ought to be cheaper after this for ‘the patent on the McKay wax thread sewing machines has expired. Tt is thought that the royalties on this machine amounted to $1,000,000 a year in this country. One manufac- turer, Joseph Davis, paid as high as $30,000 per annum to the patentee. The basis of the machine was an in- vention by Lyman R. Blake, of Ab- ingdon, Mass., who in 1858 patented an arm working inside the shoe, and sew ing directly through theupper and both soles without the use of a welt, Mr, Gordon McKay bought this invention for §8.000, and the Mathias patent, for channel- ing a shoe, for §9,000. Then, in 1864, Blako placed an alcoholic lamp in the arm or “horn,” which kept the wax thread warm and made the machine capablo of doing the finest sewing. The main patent was what was called a “‘prceess and product”’ patent, under which it was successfully claimed that no other machine could be put on the market to do the same work. One of the first lot of machines was bought by E. C. Burt and George Silver, of New York, but gradually other large manufacturers came m until it is estimated that there are now 1,800 machines in use, which do the bulk of the machine shoe sewing of the coun- try. —— The emigration reports show some curious facts. It is rather surprising that out of the half = million strangers that came to our shores last year only forty-six wero lawyers, Clergymen are rather more numerous, aud during the year 269 arrived, 79 of them from England, and the same number from Treland, Of musicians there were 399, and, strange to BaYy, only forty-two of them came from Ttaly; but whether the bureau clagsed hand-organs under the head of musical instruments is not known.

There wero landed 1,377 bakers during the year, and of this number 734 camo from Germany.
